I think that usually a guy which play games for a long time, risk to became a gambler addicted. Which method you use for stop plaiyng when you understand that you are near to became addicted?
For example, i don't play a lot or for long time (i play games spot during my free time), so i have no idea about, but i trade forex all day and when i had a significant loss i usually turn off my Pc and i go out for a drink , just for not run behind loss.
n addicted gambler is easy to spot. Betting haphazardly wothout thought, drunk senseless and playing from dusk till dawn. There are also addicted gamblers who are clean and methodical and this are much more harder to spot but there are still tells and that is how they twitch when they are not playing or how they go back again and again even if they were beaten last night
I don't agree entirely because not all gambling addicts are drunkards because there are exceptional cases but if you indeed want t spot the gambler from the onset then you should check his crave to play over and over again without having the need to go home or look out for his family or even friends but just keeps trying as if he has unlimited bankroll.
