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

Even if this was just a joke, due to the context in which this happen in which the members of that group have made bets for 2 years in a row, it seems safe to me to speculate that some of them may have some problems, as betting for so long when combined with that kind of message may seem to indicate that they are not planning to stop, and unless a person is very wealthy, betting for that amount of time is bound to get them in trouble.

Whether you do like it or not then its none of ours business if someone would really be attached into these kind of betting on which we do know that this is something that will vary into each person on which
we do know that there are ones who are really that get interested on making bets with their friends and not necessarily that they will be betting some real money on which we do know that you could be also be able to bet
like treating a dinner or snacks or whatsoever that it could be possibly be applied. This is why it would really be just that normal that there would really be some sort of behavior on making bets in between
co or fellow workers such as this. I dont see any form of addiction even if its done on day to day basis.

As long you wont really be making yourself that spending too much money with those bets then it should really be just that fine and since its really just that for the sake of fun
then it would really be that just fine for you to get engaged with. So its none of our business on what they would really be gonna doing with their lives.
