Share some betting addiction stories.

Well, in many betting addiction stories, there's a progression from casual to compulsive behavior. At first, it might be a social activity or just for entertainment, but then it becomes an obsession. Financial problems always seem to be a part of it too. As the addiction takes hold, people start losing more money than they can afford. And there's often a breakdown in relationships. Family and friends get pushed away as the bettor focuses more on their addiction.

One addiction story is about a person addicted to video games. He would spend all day and night in front of the screen, ignoring his real - life relationships and responsibilities.

There are also those who bet on the stock market in a way similar to betting. Take Warren Buffett as an example. He's not a traditional bettor but his investment strategies are somewhat like betting on the right 'horses'.
