Addicted gamblers are seen across every neighborhood where gambling shops or casinos exist. They share almost similar stranded looks, when trying to seek for financial help. I've also watched players change from addiction to not gambling at all. Although, some gamblers whom I know bet on video games, and they're addicted to doing this, however, they sometimes tend to stop. In addition, most experiences were read online, because associating with addicts isn't something I'd pick as a hobby or thing I like doing. Unless the player reaches out for help on ways to stop being addicted, then I could be of help. Some addicts in our neighborhood, while growing up were so buried in addiction that their family had to disclose the problem to a wider range of listeners. Yet those moves never made any changes on the player, they still try as much as possible to continue player, regardless of what people think about them in the society.
I am not sure that every addicted gambler shows their addiction to the outside world.
In many cases it can just be something that is deep down. You basically need to watch their behavior, not how they look.
Indeed, there are quite a few cases where addicts live with the disguise of a civilized person, they have cooperative relationships and chat with people almost without a gap but on nights where there are matches or mysterious places to gamble, they peel off the outer shell and go crazy with their inspiration, sometimes just casual contact cannot guess that they are debtors who lack money to gamble and start mortgaging their assets. Therefore, in society we should pay attention to the behavior of certain types of people, sometimes some standards do not match, they reveal their addiction and let their behavior cause bad things.
