Get yourself into sports, for sure once you get the hang of it gambling won't be a problem anymore.
One of the recommended games in gamble is this one, this game won't make you feel addiction but more likely make you study things and be knowledgeable. This type of games needs knowledge about the team's performance and thus make you feel safe about your bets but still this has no complete safetiness. Still it is better than luck based games like dice.
Yes sports is really going to help you stay away from gambling and best sports for me is basketball even you are only playing alone you can enjoy it.
And if you are going to be addicted in basketball for sure you are able to stay away from gambling and you can help yourself for being an athletic person.
