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?

Addiction and success have quite big differences in meaning and because gambling relies more on luck, it should not be called success. But when active gambling has influenced him not to do other work then addiction is a suitable name for them. Gamblers who have invested time, energy and even money to produce reasonable winnings, then they should not be addicted because they are consciously able to handle gambling quite well.

It is irrelevant to attribute success in gambling to a class of people who are addicted. Addicted people are unable to control their emotions, money and so on, but if they are successful in gambling then they should be quite aware that they are gambling responsibly.

Its just common sense on which there would really be those main difference, in speaking about being addicted then we do know that there's no way that it could be called to be a success.
It is really just that on the time that you do able to cope up with that kind of addiction and been able to realize things along the way then this is where you would really be considering
yourself on having such recovery and not all would really be able to successfully be able to hit up such thing on which you would really be having that kind struggle on handling your
gambling addiction.

Once you do able to get out then this is where you would really be trying out to find yourself whether you would really be that completely stopping on gambling
or would really be continuing it into that controlled manner?
