The most common type of gambling addiction is the one with greediness. That is why the addicted person will be losing huge amount of money to the extent they may not have money again but start to borrow.
You are so right. I have been greedy and lost. The feeling consumed me so much that I continued gamble on slots with my wins until it dropped to zero and I couldn't bet again so I stopped. This is how gamblers feel until greed turns to an uncontrollable addiction.
But addiction can also be that the gambler is not really wasting money on gambling but gambling is really taking his time. But this type of addiction is mostly not possible.
You are also right on this one. While greediness is one type of gambling addiction, it is also not the only type. Spending time on a gambling website gambling, or in a sportsbookie website can also be. The shorter type spent on gambling the less likelihood of getting addicted to gambling.
Most addicted gamblers are greedy.
