Did you ever try to stop gambling?

There are people that are making good amounts of money from gambling but can't stay away from gambling a day, those kind of people can be consider to be addicted to gambling because they can't do without it but they are not discuss well enough like the losers.

For me those people are also addicts and they should be considered as addicts as they're highly addicted to gambling. I know those people aren't losers and they're not the ones who sell their belongings to gamble but still they're addicted to it and if they don't gamble then they don't get any dopamine. But, in a way those aren't as bad as the ones who sell their belongings or who do robbery in order to gamble.

It's sad that only people that lose money and do everything in their power to gamble are been seen as the worst people in gambling, if indeed they makes money even when they are addicted, this addiction of a thing will not get attention like that. Funny thing about them is they don't even know they are addicted even after showing the signs.

It will be better if casinos can implement a system where it can temporary ban some gamblers when they lose so much money and only allowing them come back after going through a survey for gambling addiction awareness, it will be better at least to make them remember what they are into incase they don't have a reminder.

Gambling is not an addiction; it is a game, and everyone who plays it is likely to get addicted if not principled and disciplined. Addiction comes as a result of excessive or abusive usage or patronage of something that one deems enticing, as it pleases them. It is normal that the winning ratio while gambling is very minimal and as a matter of fact, the odds are always in favor of the house, so the tendency of one winning a game is minimal so it will be in the best of interests for gamblers to always gamble with caution because not everytime games enters in their favor.

Gambling isn't an addiction but when you approach it any how, you will get addicted to it whether you are making money from it or not, you can become addicted to gambling but the general aspect of it is only people that makes losses and don't quit are the ones that are been noticed most of the time and discuss to be the only problem and that's not the case.

Yes when one approach gambling like they can not do without it, it would be obviously clear that they are addicted. I will agree with your opinion that not only people who lose games are addicted, both constant and regular winner's to could be addicted because they too play everyday and luck always is on their side so they win game's too regular. Nobody would say much about them because they win but those who constantly lose are the talk of the day as there is no impact they have made and that would result to them being called all sorts of names.

True, when issues of gambling addiction arise, minds are always drawn to the loser because losses are visible and undesirable outcomes. Even this causes people to criticize gambling because losses are always viewed as products or gambling, providing a foundation for criticism.

However, winners are always recognized. A person who encourages someone to stop gambling simply because they are losing may be tempted to gamble again if another gambler wins. Winning covers addiction and that is why a gambler who is winning is never pictured as an addict.

Winning cover's addiction for those who constantly win but I wonder why they are not criticized because most of them are the reasons why some gamblers likely get addicted because when they see them keep winning, the others would become motivated to keep gambling forgetting that luck varies for each and everyone as the case may be.  However, that does not mean that because they are winning back to back, they shouldn't look into curbing their gambling excesses, as a matter of fact,they have to because the moment they start recording losses, that is when it would dawn on them  that they are addicted to gambling.
