Whether it is called gambling fever or gambling addiction, they both have a negative effect on the gambler. They results in losses, shattered mental health and what have you. They are negatives and in my estimation, should be treated the same. Do not get addicted to gambling. Do not catch gambling fever either they are not good. Practice good gambling strategies and be a responsible gambler. Remember to take breaks when you feel overwhelmed by a gambling activity.
I don't know if it's just me but gambling fever doesn't look like an addiction to me. I can be having gambling fever that makes me to be gambling frequently but that doesn't mean I'll be gambling in an way that becomes a problem to both my finance and my mental wellbeing. While both of them will have their negatives impact on your gambling activities and they should be avoided but that doesn't mean we can't make good use of this different phenomenon to out advantage. Gambling addict has its positives effect and the negative side of it but the bad side is more visible so it isn't something that we should be doing although taking advantage of it is also another way to go about it
