Control freak

Control freak is usually a derogatory term.

In psychology-related slang, control is the attempt to impose excessive predictability and direction on others or on events, often associated with insecurity or a lack of trust. Frequently, a person labeled "a control freak" has a position of authority or superiority in a relationship; however, the person's obsessiveness extends beyond the acceptable range of control. The term is used for extreme cases.

Gamblers are often control freaks themselves or accuse others of being control freaks.
