self-control is one of the things you always need to apply when you feel you are on the brink of any addiction. if you think, you can't contain yourself anymore, better stop and contemplate on your life. remember, no one will truly help you but your own self.

Quick answer, just make a list , in that list write down the money you spend on gambling every month, write down the profit you're expecting and if you're not getting a profit trust me that person will stop betting. Most people saying am addicted to betting maybe because they've not loss a huge amount of money. Almost everyday I see people crying about betting and promising themself not to gamble again. So trust me the moment that person loss a huge money to a betting platform that person will stop immediately. So for me I will say allow the person to bet and when the person loss a huge money that person will stop instantly, secondly I don't believe people saying am addicted to gambling. No amount of self control will stop someone from betting dear.
