Go find another hobby that will gets your attention or maybe play games so that you wont get in to gambling or try any sports ..

Yeah finding another hobby is a great start.
But be disciplined too. Just don't get tempted by going to gambling sites etc. It's better to stay strong and focus solely on your new hoby.


finding another hobby is really the only way. If your truly addicted if your mind isnt thinking about something
else you will be back to gambling in no time (same with booze)

Yes you are right. It you just go away and don't seek real help you will fall into your old habit.
The best think to conquer this is with help and a strong discipline.

I heard somewhere that addiction comes from a lack of familial and friendly support. I guess one option is to associate yourself more with friends and family, to see if that can distract you from your habit of gambling. Hobbies, as previously suggested, can also divert your attention from gambling. You should focus on the entertainment value of gambling if you choose to continue, rather than the possibility of profiting. Perhaps that will set a threshold for stopping?

Well its all about self control,i had payed forex,sports bets ,casinos ,i lost almost into all of them,the thing were i took the risk with the money i played andwell i hit my self later and stoped wasting the money i earned with the most, nowadays i invest at some games and projects that sounds a bit fair.

Investing is just another form of gambling. You are unsure if the project becomes big and have to count on the honesty of developers you're giving your money to.


Sure i agree with you but  gambling or investing,being a small diffeence between,the thing and main rule that the most dont follow never is dont invest more then you can afford to loose,soo i keep gambling but on my case investing where i believe has potencial and can grow.We all wanna profit and get more money soo we take the risk always,doing a research will help to avoid  a loss.

Before the new gambling regulations came into the UK where you could limit how much you spend, I used to put my money in a safe bank holding account where I could only withdraw it with the signature of my mother (I was single then)

You need to find a way to control your money and let people around you help.

I think it's really good idea though. So you need signature of your mother to take your money, but i think it's not 100% prevent you from gambling. You can get money from your job and gambling again :/

If you let people around you know the problem they will help.

people are more understanding than most of us think.

it's true. ppl are uncomfortable to confess their mistake, tend to lie to other ppl around them and lie to themselves. it just make thing worse than it should be.
That is not true, IMO. Nobody simply goes to the street and said, "Hey, I kill your cat.".
People are not comfortable to confess their mistake because they are either not close to you or just simply do not know you or just don't trust you. I, myself, are not comfortable to talk about my problems especially to a complete stranger, TBH.

"people around you" are not strangers, they are close to you. and of course yourself is not a stranger, it's really close to you. talk about your problem to a complete stranger, or even a group of strangers, is good, and is used a lot.


I agree

many people do it to overcome its problems

it's a popular therapy, it appears so many times on movies, tv shows, books. it must be effective to become that popular. i thought it's weird at first but i have changed my mind.

I usually stay away from gambling by mining and keeping other online projects going so that I don't think anything much of gambling. I spend anything on gambling as rarely

as possible. If I start to lose, I cash out and say screw it all. I sometimes invest a little and if I see some loss, out it comes.

no, it can't help, it might just give you excitement when you are back in the internet when you stay away from internet without other reasons and just trying to forget gambling... maybe it could help if you stay away from internet because you have a day job and that needs more of your attention than gambling...

Totally removing a gambling thing in a gambler is really not that easy especially if a gambler is at the point now of high level addiction.

If a gambler really eager to make a change, "try" anything that can help him stay away.

Just remember it's "not an instant" change. Time will passed and soon a gambler will finally overcome the addiction even it still do gambling.

There are a lot of methods to stop with gambling or stay away from it, one of them is social control by a relative, I think this is the best method so far.
If you are a gambling addicted its good to have someone that is watching your back and says that you have to stop on certain point, social control is important in your whole life.

The best way to stay away is just find some distraction. That is the best option I think. And you also have to control yourself.
I hope later that more people will stop gambling and realize that gambling is very bad to do.

You must find things that you like to do and that will be good and you will also save some money.


yup distraction, that's needed, and probably with the help of the family, specially if the addicted one is still young,,,

If you are so addicted to gambling, gamble with virtual money, as in demo-money.

For example there are many video games where you can gamble, and play with only virtual money, not real like bitcoin.



Its funny because bitcoin is also considered virtual, but it;s not, its real. Virtual would be a video game money or something like that.

Playing virtual casino with virtual currency does not have the same thrill as gambling with real money. If you lose or win, its nothing. You can just shrug it off. Unlike if you gamble with money, hard earned, every roll keeps you on your toes.
