Default Gambling addictions
When you have a tenner in your pocket and you walk past a bookies, has it become a problem when you feel like you and that tenner are that invincible that you go in and shove it in the machine?

Do you often find yourself experiencing mood swings whilst gambling? Have you ever had to borrow money from a friend to gamble, or to cover your day to day expenses because you have spent all of your own money on gambling?

Course i get mood swings when gambling....

Is that really a warning issue!! Omg.

But that feeling of invicibility..now thats a killer.

Dont get me wrong i wont miss what i bet, but i always walk in thinking the money is already won.

Mood swings yes, but of course there's a difference between lobbing a little pen across the room, and putting your fist (or a chair ) through a machine screen.

Most important question really... Do you chase losses? If you lose money, can you accept the loss, or do you continue betting increasing amounts in the hopes of winning back what you've lost?

Number one sign of a gambling problem that one .

I used to work with a lad who would regularly blow two hundred plus on the roulette machine on his dinner break.
