Factors Gambling Addiction

Factors gambling addiction- can be harmful

No one knows exactly how many neurotic gamblers end up taking his or her own lives. It is more then two hundred a year. For every suicide more then five gamblers with self-inflicted injuries could end up in hospital. Gambling addiction is also linked to a range of other serious personal and social harms.  The reasons can be insolvency, family breakup, domestic abuse, assault, fraud, theft and even homelessness.

How can it effect

For the majority people gambling is a relaxing activity with no negative consequences. But, others develop excessive behavior as well. Gambling becomes disarray or an addiction that manifests itself as an irrepressible impulse to gamble money. The activity has negative penalty and dominates the lives of those suffering from pathological gambling. Amongst other things, excessive gambling leads to the spending of ever-increasing sums of money and creates important personal, familial, occupational and social problems too.

Clinical factors

Few intensive researches suggest that the core cognitive error lies in the gambler’s notions itself. Although individuals who suffer from pathological gambling hold a large proportion of erroneous beliefs that occasional players also have such perceptions. Plenty people beliefs the idea that the game’s results are determined by chance. While many wrong beliefs involve the idea that the game’s outcome can be predicted and controlled. The basic problem may be rooted in the fact that individuals have great difficulty in either recognizing or generating random sequences of double events. Participants could only see the last chosen event. Results indicate that participants were unable to apply the principle of self-rule among events. All participants removed the screen to examine previous events at least once during the task. The fundamental error is to rely on past events to predict the next outcome.

What is addiction?

Addiction is often characterized by an ongoing effort to use more drug or behavior. It can be the result of tolerance and withdrawal symptoms in the absence of stimulus. Many drugs and behaviors that provide either pleasure or relief from pain pose a risk of addiction or dependency on it. Factors that are affecting gamblers are the huge need of money, or the intention to get more and more.

The end result is the physical hazards caused due to this, which can lead to death. So do not get addicted to it and play safe.
