I am often late from work due to gambling. Did you ever lose time from work or school due to gambling?
Its an early sign of addiction maybe? If you know you have something very important to do and just set it aside to gamble is clearly an early sign of an addiction. Just don't let it take your job away, gambling for profit is good but don't let it take away the main source of your income.
Yes thats an early sign that you are now addicted to gambling. Gambling will really destroy you because it makes you not focused to your work and sometimes you are not doing your work well because you are in a hurry to go to gamble. You should be careful in managing yourself.
