So in weekends in my departmental WhatsApp group, we just randomly talk about soccer bets and sometimes drop a particular game and keep it open for correct score prediction to be made on it, and the first person with the correct score goes home with a data subscription, this has been going on for almost two years now and people have gotten used to it without knowing it.
This is one of the chat I just bumped into by one of us in the group chat and at this point I feel most of my friend have made it compulsory to always gamble every weekend.
Do you see this as addiction or just catching of fun?
Mind you, we just enjoy the moment and might just joke around with people making predictions based on the teams, they love but we are mostly gamblers at our different ends.

It is VERY difficult to say whether it is an addiction or not, because it is not clear whether the person wrote this seriously, out of emotion or being balanced. Maybe this is a form of humor or sarcasm
But if he wrote this completely seriously, then I cannot definitely say that he has problems with addiction, but I don’t like it. I mean this person may have problems with attachment to the game
