i lost $6767 via gambling in world cup. I need advice on how to quit gambling

[Gianluca95]

Step 1: Loan $50k from loanshark.
Step 2: Go to casino and bet it all on 00.
Step 3:
Step 4: Never gamble again.

If I would be able to take a loan I would go for a 1000 btc loan. Gamble safely my way up on dice sites to 1200-1500 and return the initial 1000.

You're retarded. What I said was a joke. Anyone who loans money to gamble is absolutely fucking retarded (aka big banks).

Agree 100%.

Can you explain me how you did to play 6767% in gambling? Are you crazy !

So, to quit gambling, try to spend much time with people that you love and, in this way, maybe you could have possibility to quit gambling.

This is actually not bad advice. A wake up call.

go see a therapist.

I disagree they cost a fortune and is don't really help I believe losing something like this is the only way you will learn to stop gambling.

Problems caused by excessive gambling are not just financial. Too much time spent on gambling can lead to relationship breakdown and loss of important friendships. You need to quit asap. Professional therapy is the only option  if you want to do it for real.

[sapta]

Learn about odds and math in depth.  Learn about EV (expected value) - every -ev bet you make is a loser its just results orientated thinking confusing you.  Also learn about sharp and square betting if you into sports.

After all that if you are still betting large without an edge then you basically hate yourself and are on self destruct so you need therapy. Or you think about life in a temporary way and need to learn postponed gratification.

Totally agree with this. And one more important thing is limitation. e.g. You stop when you win 5K & You stop when you lost 2K. That's it.

Betting is like illness people go to rehab cuz of it.

About gambling and imperfect information games ...

The reason I only play poker on tournaments, never cash games ..is that in tournament you know the maximum amount you going to loose is the buy-in fees ... inside the tournament is different ... you have those feeling that can be rich, or deal if yours wishful thinking, emotions and reasons.
