Gambling addiction is the toughest problem for a gambler but unfortunately, they don't know how to solve it.

It's not that gamblers don't know but I think a lot of them underestimate their own issue so they wouldn't focus on it as much as they should before it gets worse.

On the other hand I think blocking yourself from watching football matches is extreme. Sports is something very healthy for people, and competition is cool. I wouldn't do that so.

As a sports bettor, it's understandable as sometimes you're better off not watching any matches than getting tempted to gamble if you still allow yourself to watch a match from time to time.

It's mind over matter which is hard for gamblers who aren't able to control their emotions. They let their urges and desire win over what doing what they think is right. If we don't control our emotions in the first place, it will be the one who will take over on controlling us which could lead to wrong decisions or worse, to gambling addiction.
Avoiding anything that is related to gambling will be the best step for us to get rid of betting but to totally eliminate it, we should learn how to discipline ourselves.

Once your mind and emotions arent fixed or simply saying that you arent dedicative on quitting or stopping or simply controlling your gambling habits then you would really be failing out on stopping your addiction.
It is really just a matter of self acceptance and good control about your aims and goals through gambling whether its for entertainment or for making yourself rich which we know that it is really a very wrong
mindset to mold whenever you do deal with gambling which this kind of motive or intent would really be pushing you into the line on which it would result into desperation which comes next on your action
ending up on that multiple or severe losses which would really be worsening up the situation whether you could able to recover from it or would be totally messing up your entire life because of it.
