Lounge Gambling Addiction a MYTH?

Seriously I'm sure it's the same as smoking Marijuana which is harmless compared to Alcohol.

It's just Self Control and common sense and moderation.

I only bet on something that is a 100% Sure thing like this weeks football games.

Also saying you get an adrenaline rush which is like drugs..... I mean I know the game is pre determined so..LOL I'm not ripping out my hairs.

What are your thoughts? I have a friend who just buys scratch offs but he's not to bright.

I'm a noob as well to Betting sites at least.

 

I will bow to your obvious superior medical knowledge.
Long term excessive use of alcohol sure does damage to the liver and brain, and I see your research disallows the possibility the the equivalent use of pot and the inhalation of smoke directly in the lungs excessively will not cause lung disease and or cancer. If someone is addicted to maijuana in a similar way as people are addicted to alcohol and uses it as excessively.....according to you....cannabis inhaled into the lungs is safer.

Fair enough. I am not a medical doctor and have done nor research myself on this topic.

 

Gambling addiction, also known as compulsive gambling, is a type of impulse-control disorder. Compulsive gamblers can’t control the impulse to gamble, even when they know their gambling is hurting themselves or their loved ones. Gambling is all they can think about and all they want to do, no matter the consequences. Compulsive gamblers keep gambling whether they’re up or down, broke or flush, happy or depressed. Even when they know the odds are against them, even when they can’t afford to lose, people with a gambling addiction can’t “stay off the bet.”

 

Gambling Addiction is factually harmful and not a myth it has been extensively researched, by the way, so is Marijuana!

 

I know people who are addicted.. poor their families.. they need serious treatment but it is not fact that eventually they are able to return to normal life

 

Addiction is an official disease with code.

 

Addiction is a mindset problem thus becoming a disease, with great help and discipline one can endure and surpass.

 

Gambling without discipline is "Addiction".

 

It's not only gambling. Addiction to anything can be harmful.

 

Yes I agree.

 

Yes addiction to anything can be harmful, it may look not it at first but who see it that way right?
Nobody know by them self if its addiction.

 

Gambling addiction is real, there people who are addict right now and will be.

 

Gambling addiction is an official decease

 

No, if there is self-control. However, how many people, so many opinions
