I'm not going to tell andesite not to bet, he knows what he's done, and he knows he'd probably be better off never betting again, as he has the form to be undisciplined.
My suggestions if you want to bet and like to bet, but know you have discipline problems.....
When you go to the TAB, leave all cash EFTPOS cards, credit cards, not at home - but with either a trusted relative, friend or in the freezer (frozen), so they have to thaw out to use them!
Only bring a daily limit for your bets, no more.
Have your credit card closed, or limit lowered to $500 limit only, and pay it off as a loan, not a running overdraft.
Put your bets on early and leave the TAB for the day - listen or watch the races elsewhere.
Close all internet TAB or online bookie accounts and make the trip to the TAB if you must bet.
If there's a long break between races, and you know you'll be tempted, walk out of the TAB and go have a coffee and a sandwich and read the paper (not the formguide) until your race is about to start - it's cheaper in the longrun.
My suggestions only in good spirit to help you.
