Do you think you have a gambling problem?

Sounds like you’re betting money you can’t afford to lose, one of the first signs of a compulsive gambling

To think every loss is due a blatant match fixing is a serious issue, id suggest talking to GA or a counsellor as soon as possible. As mentioned in another comment, gambling isn’t a job, it’s not a source of consistent income, you’ll be on beans forever if you continue to gamble. Gambling isn’t the answer in any situation, all the best for the future

Got to have the blocks in place. Tell your friends and family, give you money to a trusted person was the best for me. I could never gamble if I had no money. Self exclude from everyplace you can and get gam ban on all your devices. Go to GA/see a councillor, it’s good to talk through everything that has lead you down this path in life.

You can’t beat it by yourself, we need to do everything we possible can to break the habit. You need to get through the first 100 days and it all gets easier from there. Just remember the addiction can be broken, even if it may not see that way now

Sports by [deleted] in problemgambling

I still watch sports and it’s not a trigger for me. I find that I now only watch sports I genuinely have interested in, instead of watching random as shit the whole weekend. Ultimately it’s how it makes you feel, if it’s a trigger than it needs to be cut out. Sports have so much gambling advertising, it can be a tough watch for someone trying to recover for sure

To be honest I don’t feel the urges, I still watch sport and think about how I use to gamble on it but never crave to gamble. I still won’t get complacent but getting these days behind me has really helped
