Investing much time and money into gambling doesn't make us addicts. Successful gamblers have a life outside gambling; family, friend etc. They have fun times when they're not gambling. An addicted player, gives all to gambling and forfeits any other recreation that is not gambling. Their life revolves on gambling and they stake anything just to gamble. Such behaviour doesn't guarantee winning, a proof of success in gambling. If a person gives their all into gambling and doesn't win they're not successful, while being addicted to gamble. Hence if a person dedicates specific time on gambling and wins often, due to their extensive techniques of how gambing works. I'd add the person as a successful gambler. On the both sides, if a person is addicted and wins big too, they're successful gamblers. Because their addiction in gambling didn't end in playing games, but in devising methods that works for them. So, categorizing them, we can say that not all successful gamblers are addicts, same way not all addicts are successful gamblers. Even, a good percentage of successful gamblers play for fun.

The moment we understand the principles of gambling, the period we start earning enormously from the system. We have nothing to worry about if we continue to gamble and earn profits from the space. Addiction can not be permanently eliminated but it can be reduced with temporary techniques. It's mostly complicated in the space and it takes only consistency and hardwork to determine the level of success and profitability. Successful gamblers are often seen as gambling addicts. There's more of these gamblers deal with in the system, making sure that there's full backup strategies.

In the eyes of many they're seen as addicts, but in addition to what slow death said, at the cost of practicing or analyzing how the system works, time is required. And when a person does give out lots of time to an activity, he can be seen as an addict. But, these people are tagged professional gamblers, meaning gambling is like a work to them, hence if anybody who works on something is categorized to be addicted to their jobs we may be missing out on the definition of the word addiction. Addiction is referred to as a brain disorder and such a person may not think straight again, even while gambling. Unlike the professionals, they're giving out multiple energy and time to provide the best results for themselves. Which the activities, rewards them with much winnings and healthy gambling lifestyle. They know what it means to be addicted and can advise an addicted player on ways to skip gambling addiction. It's clear we see them playing games everyday, all the time. Yet it doesn't stop them from going for a month vacation without gambling. I think that makes the difference.

I think addiction and passion are similar. Labels are simple to assign without knowing what makes them. So, professional gamblers? Sure, they study, play, and win for terrible hours at the table. Dont painters lose track of time? Don't writers get lost in their own worlds? We still commend their efforts

Pro bettors are also strategist. The game is understood, played well, and they win. People aren't merely addicted; they strategize. It's not like seeing "addicts." Not because they have a plan, but because they need something badly. No games for a month? Addicts may not understand that. It's like cutting off their blood. Before using phrases like "addiction", we must be clear . Even though it's gambling, maybe it's time to acknowledge the skill
