how many of you dare admit you have a gambling problem ?

At what point does it become a problem?

i do

i dont win as much as i could.

I'd probably tick a lot of the boxes.
I spend around 40 hours a week punting so that could well be classed as a problem.
The only questions I'd ask is do you have to be losing to be considered a problem gambler?
Many I know spend far longer at work and get less money so do they have a problem too?

No

i showed my dad internet gambling a year ago and now he's obsessed i just wondered when it becomes a problem lol hes well off with the money so loosing a little isnt that much of a problem but it takes so much of his time up

Very good question, i'd say that you've got a problem even if you are winning , if you find that you are sacrificing your family by ways of spending little or no attention on them because you'd rather be sat in front of the computer/tele.

yeah aljay i was just writing the only problem it causes me is sometimes i neglect my friends etc more than i should

Many people spend far longer working and don't see their family during that time though.
If you spend 40 hours a week punting/trading surely that is no different? As long as you're providing for your family I hasten to add.

With a standard job though is that you're out the house for 8/10 hours and once you are home , that's it and you are then with the family.

With gambling you could be all day on the horses and half the night on football and god knows what else, it can easily span all day and all night these days.

True but if you just dedicate 40 hours a week to this I'd say you're fine. Remember there'll be plenty who put in a 40+ hour week at work then spend the same amount of 'leisure' time on here neglecting everything. As with everything you have to strike a balance.

I am addicted. But i'm not stupid enough to bet lose large amounts.

I admit that when I have money in my pocket, I bank some of them in betfair.. my opinion is bank little, withdraw many, with 1.05's or laying CS bets

I'd sell a kidney to have a bet.
Gambling is the greatest buzz better than snorting a line of coke of Sienna millers pi ss flaps
I will never stop

Dime
it's a fact man you could do £50 worth of nosey   And it won't make you leap of the settee like a tenner on the match

If you find yourself sitting on your laptop at gone 2am, squinting at a dodgy live internet feed, willing another goal in a Copa Libertadores match between teams from Bolivia and Peru knowing very well that a) it won't happen and b) you have to be up for work in 5 hours time then you have a problem...................so count me in!

Does a divorce and lose of job because of gambling count as a problem?

EXACTLY BISCUIT

YOU HAVENT LIVED UNTIL YOUVE GONE ALL IN ON A TEAM NAMED EMELEC

PLAYING ON A MOUNTAIN IN ECUADOR AT 3 AM ON A COLD, RAINY NOVEMBER MORNING

The Copa is the best, "this game will be under for sure it's only Lanus" cue the 6-0

if you won the lottery, would you still be on betfair?  i know i wouldn't.  i'd be off enjoying myself.  it's surprising how incredibly boring it gets.  thank god we have money tree to entertain us with his tips

Looks like one cheese ball for every losing bet.

GAMBLING PROBLEM,THERES PEOPLE ON HERE WHO WOULD GAMBLE ON HERE 24 HOURS ADAY IF THEY HAD ANY MONEY LEFT

THERES PEOPLE WHO HAVE MADE MORE DEPOSITS ON HERE ,THAN ALL THE  DOGS PUT TOGETHER

THERES MEN ON HERE THAT ARE THAT SECRETIVE WITH THEIR GAMBLING HABITS ,THAT THERE WIVES THINK THEVE GOT ANOTHER WOMAN

IN FACT ALOT OF WIVES WHO RATHER THEM  HAVE ANOTHER WOMAN THAN LOOSEING ALL THEIR HOUSEKEEPING ON GAMBLING

ALOT OF WOMEN DONT LIKE A MAN  WHOSE MORE INTERESTED IN DOGS AND HORSES THAN THEM

MY EXWIFE SAID I WAS INTERESTED INTERESTED IN WILLIAM HILL THAN HER ,

THE TROUBLE WITH HER WAS SHE DIDNT KNOW HOW TO ENJOY HERSELF AT THE DOGS ,

I ALLWAYS GOT HER ,A PROGRAMME AND A PIE
