I am T
I am from VN and Im 2x years old, i am struggling with gambling especially in e-sports gambling for a small amount of money, then If I lost, i will trigger in O/U of Virtual p*s/Fifa for a fast chase back, I was 6-7 times struggling in this problems and cannot get out, i lost relationships, jobs ( but know currently i get the new one, but if i cannot fix this, I might lost this too)
I used to play and then borrow moneys from friends with terrible reasons about family issues, other issues, they helped me a lot, they could lend me from 500$ to 5000$ removed link And then my mom recognized that I was uncurable, she push me to my uncle's home, quite far from city without money and smart devices to play. I though I was become normal person for a year, then i back to city for work ( as IT developer) then just for a short period, I sit in front of a betting site for these games for 2 more times, although the amount that I lost was 1/10 with the previous losses, but it destroyed belief and love from my family and GF. Please help me in this problem, I just paid for my old debt for 70%, there was 30% left, but with this situation, I'm afraid that it is not only not finish to pay for debt but also increase it. Help me please
 
Ps: actually I dont know why I keep get in gambling again after a year, because actually in the past, i started to play not to earn money, because I have lived in a good standard live, such as private transportation, job, saving money, clothes, and nothing else. But still get in this problem, my mom told me that I want more money, but that is not the problem, I think I have no target in live or I love the afraid emotion - while waiting for the result of the matches

It seems that you aren't actually ready to stop gambling. Hate to say it but all the help in the world wont help until you yourself decide to make a long term change

I have to confide that I am working as an AI engineer, my job is to prevent cheating, so when I was normal, I knew exactly that the betting site always had their own tricks or the probability of winning one bet of a virtual match or anything else is always less than 50% but not 50-50. I know all the mechanism of betting site, but I don't know which motive brings me back times to times to this betting site, sometimes I thought I was in chasing my debt, but sometimes I started to play after I get paid my debt completely, or I start to play when I had everything, from money to all basic things ( sorry for my words are not clear, because my English is not too good ). And then, when I have a period of a year for self-isolation from everything, I was fully avoid from bets, you know, my new friends or my close relatives' friends are betting, and they also invited me to play but i refused all, and i get rid of betting advertising while surfing webs. But I really don't know why I am finding a website for betting while working after a year of forgetting about betting. Because I have to admit that I am a mule (hard-headed person) so please help me to figure out the root cause that bring me back to betting sites or any motivation please 🙁
Does the reason come from my life goals not clear yet or something else ?
