We have written this paper about gambling problems with the purpose to give us and all of our readers a sense of understanding. With the term understanding we mean that we all know what type of activity gambling is but not a lot of us know how it feels for individuals that due to their addiction play almost every day and sometimes several times a day. By somehow trying to explain what kind of experiences people who engage in gambling feel, we hope that we somehow can increase our knowledge towards these persons and towards gambling.

We are well informed that the content of our particular subject that we’ve chosen is massive and that more research needs to be done about or subject since there are no simple answers that can explain gambling behavior so easily. But by giving it an effort to at least give a glance of the many reasons of how they feel when they gamble we hope to find some comprehension for gamblers and people that suffer from gambling problems.

Our presentation of problem is to simply try to explain what kind of feelings gamblers experience when they place a bet and what consequences their gambling has led to. And by reading lots of books about our subject and by interviewing people that gamble we hope to come to some conclusions for such behaviour. When it comes to interviewing people that does gamble we deliberately chose to interview different types of gamblers just to show the broadness that does exist among people that engage in gambling activity. We did this with the simple purpose that it gives us a stronger sense of comprehension about gamblers. We also hope to insight the society about gambling problems and that their consequences does not just affect the gambler but also family and friends and when it comes to treatment due to gambling problems such help should be provided for all.

Gambling activities is a matter that affects all of society since its becoming a stronger part of our everyday life since many of us engage in the chase of “fast money”. But one must remember that this is an addiction that is much harder to knowledge since many of us can play in the comfort of our one’s homes which means that it is harder to detect.

We hope that by you reading this paper you will increase your knowledge about this group or maybe if you know a person that does gamble you will understand him or her better and come to the realization that he or she needs help for her addiction.
