Perhaps partly depends on what kind of job you have and how much it pays.
If you are making a pretty good salary there then you should probably give up poker also. Even if you're +EV at it I think it's probably too much of a trigger in your brain to lead back to the sports-betting.

If your job pays so little that there's no way you'll be able to pay off the debt then I guess your best shot is to grind away at the poker tables and hope you can control your sports-betting impulses. But I don't think this is very likely to work as you haven't had any success doing that before.

Micro,
I disagree. If he has a poor paying job, the last thing he should be doing is playing poker. Thats what got him in this mess in the first place. If he isn't making much, he should either get a better job or a second job so that he has a guaranteed income that he can put towards paying down his debt.

OP,
Stop the gambling right now. Talk to an addiction specialist to get your head straight and get a plan together for paying off the debt. Good luck.
