I wish I could have posted this in a more better place but since the thoughts came from gambling addiction, I thought it wise to ask this question over here and I hope we can discuss and get this straight.

Just as the tittle already ask, I really want to know if people who are successful in gambling also seen as addicts because I believe  for one to be successful in gambling or whatever they choose to do, there must be some good amount  of time and effort invested in it as well as money and we know that a successful  gambler must have invested  both time, effort and even money to make any reasonable  winning and these also are features of an addict as there are always excessive time spent on a betting site.

Now let's be sincere, will you also classify a successful gambler as an addict?
Yes, he also gets addicted to gambling but here the question is, is this addiction a fruit full or abusive of my thoughts and opinion addiction is of two types one is a fruitfull in which a gambler invests all his time and money and makes a great fund in the last and the second is that when he put his efforts and in the last, he lose all his fund and goes to debt in this condition the addiction is very harmful and we should take care of this. We all need to be addicted to gambling but the fruitful one will give us more and more profits.
Those who can control themselves in gambling are not called addictive gamblers. A responsible gambler is successful in gambling because they understand the risk factors and know all the ways in investing money. But addicted gamblers who do not know how to take care of themselves usually have more greed at work. After winning once bet again without understanding anything and then loses. But after successful gamblers win take a break and then move on gambling addiction to gambling can never be productive as it leads to more losses.
Controlling oneself is a crucial part of gaming since it helps us to stay healthy as gamblers not gambling too excessively. The wise gambling would always bear their loses when they make mistakes that led to loses or when there luck is not sufficient to give them a winning. This is why we need to be exercise patience as gamblers. That is the only way we can survive the market and not have any problem with ourselves. When we can take proper control of ourselves as gamblers especially during decision making, we could likely become  addicted gamblers when we put in too much pressure and efforts to win.
