Gambling is an emotional issue where a person feels the need to gamble to alleviate stress or because they feel a certain type of euphoria when they gamble. Gambling is an obsession that can take over your life if you let it go too far, this can lead to the loss of relationships, jobs, and, yes. It seems casino gambling is becoming one of America's national pastimes. Casino-goers come from all groups of the population - 55 percent have some college education; 45 percent have white-collar jobs, 25 percent blue-collar; 17 percent are retired. The percentages of blue-collar workers are higher at newer gambling areas.

Gambling addiction, also known as problem gambling or compulsive gambling, is a behavioral disorder in which a person compulsively bets money in games of chance, even when he cannot afford the cost of doing so. A gambling addiction can create major havoc in the life of its sufferers, their families, and even their employees. Those with a gambling addiction may miss work or school in order to gamble, neglect their families, and steal money with which to gamble. Such individuals may also sell valuables to pay gambling debts and may well bankrupt themselves or others in order to continue placing bets.

Songs About Gambling

While many people are able to play bingo, slot machines, or spend a day at the horse races with no problems, for those with a gambling addiction, these diversions are very difficult to control. Their addiction prevents them from being able to make sound decisions about when to stop gambling, when to leave the gambling premises, or when to stop chasing their losses, a turn of phrase used to describe trying to win back lost money by continuing to gamble.
