Hi all,

I’m a 23 year old guy and my vice is tennis. Over the last 2 years I lost over 4k on sports gambling; 1k of which in the last month alone. The reason? I hate losing.

I think I’m definitely not alone in this and that a lot of people my age are drawn into this albeit through sports, prediction markets or whatever.

I’d like to build an app to help people in a similar situation. I was thinking about something similar to forest (the app that lets you Focus) but then something to fight gambling urges. I’d like to ask you all on what helps you / has helped you in the past to actually build a useful product that can help people. Thank you all for your help

Feel free to reach out in private too :)
