Many people with a 'gambling problem' don't feel the term refers to them because they associate 'compulsive gambling' with casinos, slot machines and card games. Most people don't think that internet gambling, sports betting, horse track gambling, or excessive purchasing of scratch-off and lottery tickets fall into the same category. It's common for a pathological gambler to be in denial even though their impulsive behavior is having a negative effect on their life. Many times there are underlying reasons behind a person's gambling addiction but unless they receive treatment and support, their life usually only gets worse.
