I’d actually say watching sport has been a revelation for me. My thing was mainly football and tennis, quick bets and instant gratification. You can fall in love with sport all over again when you aren’t desperate for one team to get the next throw in or a corner in the next 5 min passage of play. When you bet you’re in a bubble, you don’t care about the game, only what you can place the next bet on.
In terms of letting him bet again...If he was an alcoholic you wouldn’t let me have a beer as it’s his birthday.
i get the affiliation to the sport etc but if it’s poisonous for him he needs out and to find something else to make him and also you happy
Furthermore I echo he is responsible for his own actions...the fact he even tried to convince you to let him bet shows his lack of conviction to actually wanting to stop. You won’t help him until he wants to stop which evidently he doesn’t. A concern would be what else is he gambling on. You’d prob need transparency in his spending to see where it’s going. Like I said before us CG’s are artistic liars...we will always find a source of income if we want to bet. Be careful for yourself
