Gambling Psychologist
A psychologist can help you to identify and address factors that might be contributing to your gambling behaviour or the behaviour of someone you care about. A financial advisor, social worker, or legal services can also help you manage any budget, debt, housing. GAMBLING PSYCHOLOGY Gambling is one of those activities where people effectively can get somethin for nothing, which is why some people will take risks.

Sadism is the sexual pleasure or gratification in the infliction of pain and suffering upon another person.
The counterpart of sadism is masochism, the sexual pleasure or gratification of having pain or suffering inflicted upon the self, often consisting of sexual fantasies or urges for beingbeaten, humiliated, bound, tortured, or otherwise made to suffer, either as an enhancement to or a substitute for sexual pleasure.
Sadists enjoy inflicting pain whether or not it is sexual in nature. Masochists enjoy receiving pain, which, again, may or may not be sexual. Dominance and submissionis a way of looking the the sadistic-masochistic distinction, a power dynamic rather than a set of acts. Not all masochists are submissive, and not all submissives enjoy pain. Not allsadists are dominant, and not all who enjoy dominating others are sadists. There is frequently a strong emotional aspect to the sexual desires, taking the form of a need for domination(to control another) or submission (the desire or to be controlled) as opposed to a simple desire for pain (which is technically known as algolagnia). The words sadistic and masochisticare now commonly used to describe personality traits in an emotional, rather than sexual sense.
