About gambling and imperfect information games ...
The reason I only play poker on tournaments, never cash games ..is that in tournament you know the maximum amount you going to loose is the buy-in fees ... inside the tournament is different ... you have those feeling that can be rich, or deal if yours wishful thinking, emotions and reasons.

Learn about odds and math in depth. Learn about EV (expected value) - every -ev bet you make is a loser its just results orientated thinking confusing you. Also learn about sharp and square betting if you into sports.
After all that if you are still betting large without an edge then you basically hate yourself and are on self destruct so you need therapy. Or you think about life in a temporary way and need to learn postponed gratification.
Totally agree with this. And one more important thing is limitation. e.g. You stop when you win 5K & You stop when you lost 2K. That's it.

Problems caused by excessive gambling are not just financial. Too much time spent on gambling can lead to relationship breakdown and loss of important friendships. You need to quit asap. Professional therapy is the only option if you want to do it for real.

If I would be able to take a loan I would go for a 1000 btc loan. Gamble safely my way up on dice sites to 1200-1500 and return the initial 1000.
You're retarded. What I said was a joke. Anyone who loans money to gamble is absolutely fucking retarded (aka big banks).
Agree 100%.
Can you explain me how you did to play 6767% in gambling? Are you crazy !
So, to quit gambling, try to spend much time with people that you love and, in this way, maybe you could have possibility to quit gambling.
About the loanshark ... can you declare yourself bank corrupt and get your name clean after 2 years ? (my question gave that 2008 insight + mtgox )

He was asking for an advice how to stop, not how to progress in even deeper shit.
What else you can expect after sharing problems online, You'll get all the shit you never expected but one must filter out few of the wise advices and just Apply it. For me Gambling goes down with 2 rules
" Don't Gamble more than you can Afford to lose [old but true] "
" Never Get Addicted if you ever like getting addicted just stop it for a while " although not many has will power for doin so.

Don't mind about this loss as you lost it in gambling!
Think that you lost it anywhere and nobody will give it back to you!
And never think again about gambling and things like it...

That really seems to be the way most people learn 
I developed a gambling addiction. I won 2000 BTC back when they were $8-10 or so around October 2012... Lost 1500 BTC a few days later at the same place I won them.
yip.... then price went to ages later $1400 - but still.....that was the most depressing time lol
I'm getting over it... day by day...
Just stop gambling. Find a hobby. Start exercising. Join support groups.
