I was meeting a friend of mine who is a betting enthusiast at Christmas, and we got to talking about gambling and bettong. And of course we touched on the topic of how people generally feel the first signs of addiction. Those very ones when something changes after the first easy betting decisions.
He said that for him it was like this: he began to understand that sitting at home on a weekend, he wanted to give luck a chance. I mean, there were no games of his favorite team that day, or games of teams that he knows well and whose victories are easy to predict. He said that he just wanted the feeling that the bet is open, and it doesn’t matter on what. And he didn’t like it. And I agree that this was clearly not a productive approach to betting.
Well, if you're addicted to gambling, you will always feel the urge of betting on teams despite of the fact that they aren't your favorite team.

Anyway, thanks for sharing. Now I know that I'm still not addicted to gambling based on the story you shared. As an addicted gambler, you will always have this feeling where if you aren't doing anything, you must gamble no matter what. You already said that this isn't a productive approach to betting. What I would say though is that your friend clearly is addicted to gambling. That's the first step and once it happens more often, he might make really bad decisions especially when he's out of money already. I just hope that your friend is okay, and I hope he will realize that he's getting more and more addicted to gambling already.

One of the sign that is common among gamblers is financial instability due to the high habit of Gambling it will be very hard for those involved Gambling to save money because they are always thinking of how they will satisfy there Gambling emotion so any little money that comes to their hands will be used to fulfill their desires that is why most gamblers are always in depth
That's a given already knowing that most of the addicted gamblers are spending most of their money into gambling that they already forget how to save and maybe invest. If they're rich man, have a big business and have a stable source of income then there's no problem if they're gambling, but the problem is that most of those that are experiencing financial stability are average Joes.
