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.
Anything that runs you off unnecessary should be notified as being problematic, this days people tend to see gambling different because they earn a living out of it and they ignore the flags showing that they are possibly going through one or two problems. In that regards you don't have to lose a whooping sum in order to understand that gambling is a problem but rather you just need to see the signs.
Let's get our words right. I understand what you mean but gambling isn't the problem but not gambling responsibly is where the problem is. Yes we know that lose is inevitable but that's why they advise people to gamble with what they can afford to let go and not to do it because they want to earn a living through it. When they bet heavily and lose everything they got then gambling becomes the problem instead of their failure to gamble responsibly. Let's throw blames at people who fail to gamble responsibly instead of gambling as an act.
