Gamblers don't realize they are addicted to gambling until it's worse which they've done unthinkable already like breaking the piggybank of his kid just so he could gamble again. But you as a gambler can also notice it to yourself before you get to the worse situation like selling valuables like jewelry so you could play again.
Is seeking a new strategy or thinking of betting while you are sleeping signs of addiction? If not, what are little signs that unfold you are becoming a gambling addict?
I have seen people fall into the gambling net many times. The scenario is almost always the same. It starts out as fun first, usually until the first big win. After the first big win, your appetite grows and you want to win more, so you raise your stakes and risk more. The moment someone gets into financial trouble, they already have one foot on the other side. When someone starts selling their stuff or borrowing money to gamble, that means gambling addiction.
