Well I think I fall under this category because I almost got addicted, so my view will help those that are really struggling to come out of it.

I got to a level where I was chasing back my loses in football betting as my bet will lose and immediately I will restake the remaining games on the slip, hoping it will come out successful but to no avail. It seem as if I was forcing what was not meant to be to happen. So I can end up rebetting a slip until the potential winning will amount to nothing.

I think one erroneous thing there was that I was being over confidence in the prediction sites I followed and another thing was the fear of missing out (FOMO).

So, how I stopped was that I was able to catch myself from that habit of rebetting that same slip. I allowed a lost bet slip to go and not bet again that same day. I saw it as trying a luck that didn't favour me for that day to try again next time. With that I realize I gradually got out of that and this happened within few months, the reason that I didn't consider it as full addiction.

Note: One reason people fall into gambling addiction is using gambling as source of income. So when you chase loses, you are likely to be addicted.
