You have to find something in life that gives you the same rush. Not sure if there is such a thing.

Some call gambling a disease. You can manage it, but never cure it though.

Unless the net is more than a quarter-million dollars, you'll still end up having to earn income.

Never start.

Retire with your winnings.

Seek professional help.

Go broke.

Die.

You don't quit gambling.... it quits you.

Meaning you will stop when you go broke.

Cyanide - take one pill per day until it stops the urge to gamble.

Move to an Islamic country where sharia law is in place, preferably where the penalty for gambling is death. That usually takes care of the problem...

Well I am seeking advice so not going to comment a lot in it. Compulsive gamblers have a gen in them that others do not so if you can neutralize that gene it can be done and you never gamble again.

Default It never stops

Gambling is actually a decease, some of us have it in our genes, if you start chances are you will never stop unless you have a real strong will power. It is stronger than the urge for a smoke or a drink, what you can do is find other distractions, such a nice girl or a second job; get so busy that you won't have the time to even think about gambling. On the other hand, life would be dull without the drinking or the gambling, so, I'm not planning on stopping either.
