If he isn't willing to get help for his gambling addiction, or even admit that he has one, there isn't much you can do. You're throwing good money after bad. I have a son, so I understand that you don't want him to be hurt, but all you're going to do is bankrupt yourself if you continue this way, with no way out for either one of you.
