The first step to conquering a problem is to first acknowledge you have one (which you have done). If you are sincere, I suggest you seek help now. Even if you are very wealthy a gambling problem can bring you to your knees and fast. Gambling is different than most addictions in that it can be fed in total secrecy, that is, until it's too late. I'm sure most of the members here at Pregame could tell you stories that "normal" people couldn't understand. Betting simply for the action is a sure sign of a serious problem. I wish you the best....
