I agree with you on that, our inability to control the desire to gamble more is the core addictions that we are talking about, some time it good to check yourself and see if you are actually gambling right because once there is the inability to control your gambling excesses it becomes bad for the whole community since gambling addictions and it impacts rob on all and not just one person. That is why is better to have an established pattern of play while gambling so as not over-dependent on it to the point that it could become an addiction.
To be honest, I personally still don't know the clear boundaries between ordinary gamblers and addicted gamblers. Can those who come every day to gamble even if it is a small amount also be called addicted?
Or is the limit the effect of gambling itself which results in the gambler's financial loss and can also involve other people?
whatever the gambling game, whether it is a slot game or sports betting, all types of gambling games provide a special enjoyable effect on gamblers. That often makes gamblers forget the boundaries of what gamblers don't want to do.
It's very simple, ordinary gamblers will know the limits they need to follow, they will not go beyond those limits and when the limits are reached, they will stop gambling because they know they have already exhausted either the time or the budget they had allocated for their gambling activities.
Addicted gamblers know no limit, they don't know when they need to stop gambling even if they have crossed their limits or everything, when they exhaust their current balance, they deposit more if they have, and if they don't have, they will try to get some money from here and there so that they can gamble with it.
So, I don't think there are any differences between the two that one shouldn't be able to differentiate between the two types of gamblers.
