I have tryed closeing the account but he reopened it, I've tryed putting a password on his pc so that he can't get into it. But nothing seem's to have stoped he so far. So i really need some HELP in how to deal with this. PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME.
Since posting this question, i have finaly got my friend to addmit that he has problem and needs help. You are so right he does need me, but i'm worried that i can't give him the help he needs.
If your friend is over 18. You can only try to talk to him, keep him occupied as much as possible, and be very supportive in regards to other hobbies he might have. Also, you may want to consider getting some brochures or information from local gamblers support groups.
It was just one game, he said. Soon, his pockets were empty. Find teen gambling addiction information and other resources on the prevention ...

Simply peel and stick! Easy to remove and re-apply.
Printed on WHITE, premium, self-adhesive, re-positionable fabric paper.
No nails, frames or glue. No professional installation required.
And if so what amount of money is an addiction?
if you just pay a dollar to play, then no. i think that it becomes an addiction when you spend money you need for other things on gambling.
I need help, I have a gambling addiction, does anyone know of any on-line sites that would be helpful. I have been to gamblers anonymous sites, and basically, they confirm that I have an addiction. There are no gamblersanonymous meetings with-in a 2 to 3 hour ride from my home, so I was looking for some kind of on-line support. Any help is appreciated. Thank you

I am 29 in California. I am employed and make over $100,000. I have a gambling addiction which has ruined my life. I owe a lot of money but i owe $30,000 among 3 different credit cards, a USBank Card, CitiCards, and Discover Card. I have lost all my money and can't afford any of these payments. 2 of the cards have let me go over my credit line. I am currently attending Gamblers Anonymous and seeing a therapist for my problem. But i was wondering if you guys had any solutions to what i can do about the credit card debt. Can i work something out with my credit cards companies? Or can i say i'm not paying because online gambling is not supposed to be allowed with credit cards but yet somehow all 3 of those cards let me gamble with their cards? Do you guys have any suggestions about how i can maybe get out of paying this debt or at least getting it reduced? Thanks,
Dave
You might get your problem solved by telling them about your addiction. If you agree to pay 20¢ on the dollar that you owe. The settlement would be for cash today; not a payment plan..
bGambling Addiction/b Enabler: Strikeforce – Carano vs. Cyborg
Mike Kyle (+435) vs. Fabricio Werdum (-515)
The breakdown…
- When you think about it, -170 is a pretty good line on Cyborg. Some places have her as high as -200, and you have to think that some ardent Carano-lovers are probably betting with their hearts/loins and bringing the line down.
Look, if this were a beauty contest we know who would win, just like we know who would be hired to work security. But this is a fight. Carano’s greatest strength is her stand-up, which is exactly where Santos wants this fight. If it becomes a kickboxing match, Carano has to rely on being the better technician or else she’ll get steamrolled by Cyborg’s superior power. And honestly? Nothing we’ve seen so far from Carano makes us think that she's quite that slick. Cyborg takes this via late TKO.
- You have to expect Mousasi to be the favorite because of what he’s accomplished so far, but if you look into who he’s beat and how there’s some cause for concern. Lately he’s been submitting the strikers and outstriking the grapplers. Sobral can do a little of both, though he’d much rather have this on the mat if he can get it there. That’s where he’s going to run into problems. “Babalu” has never been known for his unavoidable takedowns, which means Mousasi will likely get to dictate the pace in this one. If that happens, it’s trouble for Sobral. Mousasi via TKO.
