And yes this is political because I was bombarded with gambling advertisements during covid lockdowns and now I'm diseased and chasing my losses.

Crush your balls with a vicegrip whenever you gamble so you get a bad association. Unless you are in to that sort of thing in which case think of something else unpleasant.

I'm not sure you can overcome retardation. You just have to live with it.

Go so broke that your only option to survive without being homeless is to move back in with your parents. Until then you are a coward who loves to gamble.

I think people lose money and then get caught up in the idea that they can/will win it back. They need to continue to gamble just to break even.

You're a stupid fuck, i used to go to the casino, penny pick and make 5 to $6 a day and spend it on weed DAILY.

Go in with $0 dollars
come out with $5 to $6, just enough for a joint.

What do you play? Did you hit big the first time you gambled and that got you hooked?

blackjack mainly, sometimes baccarat. I sometimes play online which is the worst, I prefer proper double deck or shoe games in a casino.

If it's that bad, many places allow you to self exclude and ban yourself from the casino. If you really have the urge, stick to online and play the extremely low bet stuff, I'm talking a quarter a hand on virtual bj or maybe switch up to low stakes video poker. Try watching people on youtube play the next time you get the compulsive urge and gamble vicariously through them. Or get into poker and get decent at it, online play is mostly math/expected value vs real life where you can play the player psychologically and not the cards.
Gambling addiction is rough because it's mostly invisible

Unironically this is what did it for me. I lost so much. I wasted so much time. Every time I had to walk back home with no money left to risk. I just got sick of losing and believe me on this:

you will lose
every time

Learn some facts about gambling addiction such as: out of all the addictions, gambling addiction has the highest suicide rate. Casino's use sounds and lighting to trigger an endorphin response (excitement) which is addicting, especially when paired with winning and or the thought of winning. Heard some casinos pump oxygen in which may also combine with the nicotine in the air. Then there is the desensitization to place in time, no windows or clocks. The mind has what is called euphoric recall according to some where the memories of the excitement of winning are more likely to be amplified while memories of losses and feelings of regret are not.
