Yes there are very much different types of gamblers and differerent ways of manifesting the gambling behavior. As we spoke about, the stock market, scratching something or the lotto, but the experience of what it brings to a true gambler or a true addict is fundamentally the same. It is a sense of optimism and power and avoiding uncomfortable feelings and distracting them from perhaps loneliness or something like that . Are you a corporate tycoon or somebody in a poker chair? It may look different but inside it's somewhat the same in terms of problem gambling.
