I closed my Stake and Roobet account

That's a very good decision you took, mate. I support your stance and appreciate you for realizing the issues and fixing them. Actually, gambling has now turned to grab money from users more than providing an entertainment environment. A player loses more than he has earned, and if that is the case, then what's the reason to gamble if you came for the profit? But I think if you quit and never want to come back, then you should do the self exclusion to close all the doors that open to gambling. But let's see how much control you have, so that you will never go back and won't need that self exclusion feature.

it could be a lie as you say but what's the point in saying it publicly then
I don't remember which book i read this in, when you state a goal in public it helps you because you are often not willing to make a bad impression on others publicly
when you play online you play in secret, not publicly.

Saying something in public where people know your identity and down to your house is different from when someone says something online where only a few people or none know who they are in real life.

Keeping such words or breaking depends on the person and can't be tiled or held by what they publish in public, the op is keeping the thread updated I just hope he's done for good and focus more on his business and expanding it than going back again and losing it all.

Suddenly stopping might create withdrawal symptoms. Even if you close your accounts, you'll still want to gamble. It's one thing to say "I've closed my accounts and I won't gamble anymore," and another thing to actually do it.
I understand you want to focus on your work, and I hope you do well. If you start gambling occasionally for fun, then you won't have to think about these things.
And most importantly, you won't chase after your losses or dwell on them, so set aside a small amount and enjoy yourself occasionally.

I do not think I will indulge someone that has gone this far and had this experience to still gamble even though it is for fun I won't advise that because In reality people who claim to gamble for fun still turn addict because at some point in time they will want to go after their loss especially if it is not working for them at all. Perhaps the best advise or suggestion to give to the fella is to stop gambling for now or stop completely though he will still go back after some while because the memory is still there.

In life there are decisions you must take for your own sanity, when gambling start causing you more harm than good it is better you stop it immediately before it will destroy your life.

The problem most gamblers have is not knowing when you stop gambling or should I say when to quit gambling. The moment gambling start being problematic the best thing is to quit it immediately.

It is very difficult to quit gambling, especially if you are addicted to it. And I like the fact that you where able to quit gambling to focus on your business, you just made the best decision so goodluck.

From the post you made, you did not specify if you were addicted, your major concern was just too much losses which is normal in gambling.

You don't need someone to tell you that he's addicted to gamble, of course with the way he spoke it's clear that he's addicted to gamble and didn't know how to get out of it. Then he came up with this idea of closing two of his gambling sites, for me I think he did the right thing. But it is not about closing this sites I just hope the urge won't come as time goes on, because I came across similar case before where the gambler later went back to gamble after saying that "I'm done with gambling" I just hope he stick to his decision.

We can already figure out his current situation base on what he write here. Its good that he share his experience because there's something to learn about on it.

I like the decision he did, because with that he can possibly escape from those terrible experiences which he currently combatting. But closing his account is not enough, he needs to be fully committed on decisions done. Much better for him to find other things that can caught his attention to forget about gambling.

Also if gambling still bothering him despite of those initial actions done. Better seek for professional help to get more good assessment, so he can totally get eliminate any gambling thoughts in his system.

This might seem like a joke or just a normal discussion to some people, but op is indirectly giving out warning to those that feel they can actually outsmart the casino. I believe they can learn from ops experience because with the look of things and also with the way he sound it seems that he put in much effort in this gambling and instead of him to humble the casino the casino are the ones that humbled him, so if we don't want to be in this kind of situation we should avoid taking gambling very serous because it is not worth taking serous it's just a game of fun nothing much.

This singular act of closing both casino accounts may become an issue later when OP begins to miss the fun of gambling because the day would come when boredom sets in and the only thing that might look like a good consolation is gambling. 
It's a good decision however but a self exclusion feature would have done same thing and prevent a future return but I applaud his boldness in choosing peace of mind and protection of capital over cheap entertainment and the lure of control.

Gambling is never a thing where people should be putting entirely life over there with the hope that immediately they place the results comes as expected, of course one could be the lucky but know it in mind that the results are not always usually true because it is a game chances and possibilities.
Gambling is for entertainment and hence should be that taken and subjected to entertainment only
