i guess this question pretty much applies to any vice, whether it be drugs, sex, gambling, or whatever - but how do you really classify the difference between recreation and a problem? granted, a lot of it is personal interpretation but is there a universally recognized point where enough is enough?

I think any vice is a problem if:
1. it's severely hurting your ability to live responsibly (i.e. pay bills, be a good family person, etc).
2. it affects your health mainly and noticeably because of overuse or overindulgence.

Everyone's point and POV will be different, but here are a few of fthe top of my head:
When you are hiding what you are doing from loved ones.
When you have a desire to stop, but find yourself engaging in the same behavior anyway.
When you are selling possessions (needed or non-needed) in order to finance said activity.Comment

If the odds of losing are greater than the odds of winning,
but you still think it's a good idea to bet anyway?

It's a problem when you can't live or function properly without it.Comment

I had a gambling problem many, many years ago. Quite a serious one. It's not quite like alchoholism as you know when you have a gambling problem - however the fact that you know doesn;t stop you doing it.
My cure was simply having to bring up lots of children at the time. They came first so the gambling stopped. Took a bankruptcy to sort the bills out though
Ignorance is never bliss.

Tough one to answer.
I think if you can't be happy or function normal without it you have a problem.Comment
