One night I lost $3000 over 10 hours, haven't gambled much since. I would say I was addicted at that time, I gambled over $10,000 in that year. You're always thinking you will wIn it back.
NOT!

I don't have my copy of DSM with me, but generally speaking, gambling becomes a problem when it results in chronic, adverse or unfavorable outcomes. For example, even in a fantasy world where you constantly win, if you're neglecting your family to gamble it would be considered an issue.
-------------------- ...the whole experience is (and is as) a profound piece of knowledge. It is an indellible experience; it is forever known. I have known myself in a way I doubt I would have ever occurred except as it did. Smith, P. Bull. Menninger Clinic (1959) 23:20-27; p. 27. ...most subjects find the experience valuable, some find it frightening, and many say that is it uniquely lovely. Osmond, H. Annals, NY Acad Science (1957) 66:418-434; p.436
