When I read an article about a gambler with addiction, I noticed that he often mentioned that when he started to accumulate debts among friends, and loans from banks, he began to eat worse, stopped buying new clothes. He began to live in the Syndrome of Deferred Life. What kind of syndrome is this?
Deferred life syndrome - is a psychological condition in which a person constantly postpones a full life, happiness and satisfaction of their needs to an indefinite future.
Do you think problem gamblers can save on themselves to start living in the "bright future" they hope for after a big win at the casino?
The same goes for problem bettors and sports betting.
The problem is that the problem gambler will not even have this kind of thought to plan ahead for themselves over the future and make something important happened, they will rather instead prefer to continue with their usual way of life thinking that things will always be the same for them as they have always been living and used to a managing kind of lifestyle, which is all about endurance, procrastination, fake hope and careless kind of living, whereby they don't seem to see or understand whether if something is even wrong with them or not form how they have been gambling.
