Hi there. First and foremost let’s nip this in the bud you have the best chance now of stopping this habit roll out of control  Stand back from your financial account get a very close family member to give you a small allowance then set up direct debits to savings account 

Then it’s all the best lock outs from the whole range of gambling trust me one type leads to the other and in your spare time get useful volunteering at local community centre or a common project/hobby for the future you have this early so let’s***t it hard. Best

As someone who did football bets for over a decade and never saw it as a problem now I look back and realise it defenitley was a problem 

I can remember spending entire weekends Friday - Sunday , checking football fixtures , placing bets , watching football and checking scores all over the world

It became an obsession I would routinely lose 1-200 a week on football bets 

In the end it cost me a relationship because it was causing massive mood swings and me to completely neglect her 

There are people who let sports betting become their entire reason for existence

I decided earlier in the year I no longer want to be in that crowd
