One of the most anticipated times for fans of the beautiful game has just begun. After 4 years of waiting, the Football World Cup is back on televisions around the world and with it, huge coverage on social media and in the press\u2014as well as sports betting. For a few weeks, there will be talk of little else, with constant news and updates on the results of some of the most important matches of the year. <\/p>\n

Alongside the World Cup comes, as is now customary in the context of sporting competitions, an avalanche of adverts and offers inviting viewers to place bets. Mobile apps, websites, and above all, lots of offers, discounts and even promotional gifts that make it increasingly easy and accessible to spend money predicting results. <\/p>\n

Betting is sold as just another form of entertainment, another game to take part in, or a way for fans to interact with matches. On the surface, it seems like simply a way to add more excitement to the competition and make money from the achievements of the best teams. Even so, sports betting poses a danger that is increasingly concerning authorities and healthcare professionals due to its addictive potential. <\/p>\n

Betting very frequently as an indicator of gambling addiction<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Although we usually associate this disorder with gaming arcades, sports betting is an important part of the games included in this addiction. While it is true that sports betting is not entirely based on chance, the dynamics created in participants are the same and just as dangerous. <\/p>\n

All types of gambling addiction follow the same three stages leading to addiction, which are explained in this article<\/a>. For this reason, it is very important to identify risky habits to prevent the development of the disorder. Spending too much money, feeling anxious when you cannot bet, or letting the outcome of games affect your mood excessively, among other things, are clear indicators that should make us step back from this activity or encourage us to seek help. <\/p>\n

There are up to 7 profiles of people with gambling addiction, so no one should try to self-diagnose or rule out a problem based on other people\u2019s cases. The right thing to do in these circumstances is to identify toxic and dangerous behaviours related to betting and, if in doubt, contact an expert to obtain a professional opinion and learn the best way to proceed. <\/p>\n

At CC Adicciones, we have treatment centres in different cities across Spain where we offer help and guidance in these cases, both to the affected person and to their family members, if desired. We are a private clinic with specific experience in treating gambling addiction and are currently the number one centre nationwide, with an 86% recovery rate. <\/p>\n
