Note this the amount of money lost or won doesn't determine when gambling becomes problematic. Because many people believe that when you loose a specific amount of money in gambling them gambling is then problematic to a person. And other consider gambling to be problematic when it only give a person a  financial problems, no I don't think so. What I consider problematic is not only when gambling cause you financial problem, but if gambling is interfering with individual's relationships, job, mental or physical health or any area of their life then gambling is problematic. So what about you guys what do you think? You contributions matters.
Yes, even if you lose in gambling, gambling addiction does not always become a problem for a person as long as he is able to accept his loss. However, most gamblers lose control over themselves due to their inability to control themselves and start using a lot of money that they cannot afford to lose. And at that time they face many financial problems that take them away from their normal life. Gambling has not become a problem for me yet because I have not lost that amount of money that will break my financial backbone. So I cannot say specifically yet when gambling will become a problem for me. Because I am constantly earning in various ways which does not allow my financial situation to completely collapse.
