Message: [QUOTE="PepeTurtle, post: 3964907, member: 277377"] Definitely, I heard some stories but their lives are pretty much a roller coaster. I also think there's a thin line between addiction and professionalism, but when you realize the base these pros have, like in math and other areas, then you see the difference. For all those I know close to me I can say for sure it is not people that care about study for instance. They all seat behind the monitor or go to the local casino and expect to make money out of thin air. Another 2 characteristics that I've notice: compulsiveness and impulsiveness. These are exactly what you don't or shouldn't see in a non-addicted. Sure thing, when we talk 'addiction' we are holding the assumption of a biological pathology of some kind. As you may see an alcoholic drunk person having problems to stand up, to talk, to drive etc, you will see that a gambling problem one will show their particular signs. Best Regards [/QUOTE]
