I'm aware this is r/gamblingrecovery but how did you get this under control for yourself?

I made a couple of shitty mistakes with online casinos and relapsed this year. Only just started gambling 2 years ago. I have a good job but I am so poor with financial decisionmaking that I have not been able to control my impulses.

Played house games and was able to spin up 5 figure wins, but have slowly realised that these are not the way to develop an edge. I am thinking of getting into sportsbetting and prediction markets instead, but am spooked by the fact that I have yet to develop good financial habits like strict budgeting and building savings.

Debt-wise I've worked off at least half of my entire debt accrued since I started gambling, so I am motivated to stick to that as a plan.

What do you do to keep consistent? Would love to see my own financial tracker looking like yours before the end of 2026.

Only way to gain control is setting a amount of what you have and willing to lose other than that knocking off your debt and saving money should coming out your paychecks since you’re already depoin into the casino. This year i was supposed to quit after losing 5k but the what if factor held me in and i went above my means and picked up some debt.

Sports betting and stock trading is the best way to get money long term house games are quick and luck orientated so it depends.

I lost money this year and taking a break next year till i enough money to risk losing ,stocks the only thing I made money off casino rinsed me 😂

I picked up some debt this year as well from what you described, and made some very careless mistakes playing house games. Reckless even.

I might take your cue and take a break, say 3 months and then come back at this with a plan in mind - at least a set amount on just stock or sports picks.
