No I haven't been addicted in gambling but had gotten someone that has been addicted, the problem was that he kept it away from everyone until family members started suspecting him because of his constant complain of money, and this is someone that has a good job, unknown to us that he has used all his salary to gamble and has even borrowed all his salary,now at the end  of the month there is no income coming any more aside from bank loans and other lending agent with much interest, so there was no way he could survive with his family, which eventually leads to divorce, it was at this point family members were able to understand that he has become an addicted gambler.

Therefore it is adviceable to have a specific bankroll that you gamble with, avoid borrowing or taking loan to gamble, open up when things are not going on well with you, gamble with what you can afford to lose since gambling is mainly for fun, don't chase your losses because it very dangerous.
