In my opinion, gambling addiction has nothing to do with the success of the gambler. Based on the mathematical analysis of gambling in the long term almost every gambler will lose to the casino or bookmaker. What success are you talking about? We are all well aware that gambling is not a job, which means in this area will not be able to earn consistently. Today you are successful, and tomorrow you lose everything. Or am I wrong?

Agree with you. Success in gambling of one who plays gambling does not make the person not to be addicted. Addiction in gambling is one who can't stay without playing gambling it doesn't mean if the game comes out successfully or not . One who succeeds in gambling must be addicted to gambling because I don't think it will be easy for the person to stop gambling. People get addicted to gambling because of the money involved in it, if success can make someone play gambling all time that means it is addiction.

He's not wrong, but many people think that if someone can win a lot of money and can win it more often than other people, that person can be said to be a successful gambler. However, a successful gambler cannot be said to be a gambling addict because at least they have many things that can prevent them from becoming addicted. Meanwhile, people who cannot control themselves will get addicted to gambling, which will happen in no time. People who are successful at gambling may be able to avoid gambling addiction because they know that they have the possibility of losing. And if they have lost, they can return to playing. Even in a matter of minutes, they will continue their gambling game. But a successful gambler knows that he cannot win games forever, so he must be able to stop after winning.

I call those people gifted and passionate. When they succeed in a particular field, "addiction" will no longer suit them. For example, we often gamble, and people say we are addicted. But still gambling regularly and adding winning titles and prizes in gambling competitions, the words to describe us would be completely different.
Another more realistic example. If you gamble, the win will be yours. Then your wife will say you're great. Conversely, if you always lose, your wife will call you an addict.
