we know that most of the times we lost on gambling, but instead of stopping we keep on playing for the next day

after we lost, we got frustrated but we still back to play, is this called "gamble addiction"?

In my opinion this could be an addiction if you are unable to control your impulse to gamble and you are completely out of control with your betting.

I, like most gamblers, am on the red, but I know exactly how much money I am going to bet, I know what games I like and I only play those, mostly I play for fun, and like any other hobby I incur in some expenses, you could say that I am addicted to gambling?, I dont think so, however I fit the definition that you put in the OP, someone that keeps losing and does not quit.

It is really hard to accept defeat especially when there is money involve like in gambling most of the gamblers when losing big amount of money.

Instead of giving up they are going to try it again and again until they are going to get the loses that they had made with gambling.

But instead of that goal what is happening is they are enjoying and they don't care anymore if they are going to lose.

Cannot accept defeat is the first gate to addiction, people who can't accept defeat will keep coming back to gamble, because the curiosity that makes the person keep want to find the best way to win the game, if the people cant let go of this thing for sure he will become addictive to gamble
