@OP, what is the difference between gambling fever and gambling addiction? From your post, I don't see any difference or any unique difference of things that have been discussed here before as a causes of addiction and how to prevent it. Both are too similar, if not the same.
Even though gambling fever and gambling addiction is related there is a difference in the two and so should not be confused with the together
OP all the cues and symptoms you've listed on the OP are all signs of gambling addiction, I don't see the difference between the two concepts, although this is the first time I believe I'm seeing the term gambling fever is being used, and you claim that the both concepts are different, so for the purpose of learning, I'd like to know the difference between gambling fever and gambling addiction, so I'll be sure to make a clear distinction next time.
There's no difference at all, the way he describe it, surely does means gambling addiction. Yes, I do agree that it's the first time that we have heard this term, but as what we have said, there's no difference at all. Maybe he just misunderstand or misinterpret it, nevertheless for those who have been gambling for years or experience it already, it will be the same. I guess he just wants to remind everyone about the dangers of gambling addiction. And again for those who have experience it, yes, it's a very difficult thread that you need to go thru. Everyone around you will be hurt not just you. So it's good that if someone here are falling into it, they should really snap out of it before it's too late.
