  Comprehensive gambling could be time-consuming. Doing anything required to get the information required to risk skillfully, to follow the motion, place bets, borrow money and make payments usually has an impact that may be noticed in the workplace. An academic pamphlet on compulsive gambling provides these indicators which may be seen at work:

  Long dinners (off-track betting, conference bookmaker or loan shark or collectors).
  
  Strange disappearance in the afternoon (an average of at the track, off-track betting, afternoon card or dice game, or hearing sports).
  
  Sick days taken right when they become available rather than allowed to accumulate (employs sick days to risk).

  Says paper and sports literature at the job (damage page from race track, racing sort, sporting news, etc.).
  
  Runs company activities pool or salary pool (anyone running these often has a gambling problem).
  
  Gathers money from other employees for off-track betting or lottery (basically does this as comfort for co-workers but actually so he or she could place bets).
