Your situation sounds really frustrating. The thing is you can't change him - only he can do that. But you can change how you deal with him. Have you sat down in a neutral situation and talked? Told what you feel and what you want, asked what he wants? How is he as a father?
The two of you need to set a budget and determine how much you each need to contribute. You should start saving for yourself. Make it clear that you aren't paying so he can play.
The problem is you in that you have put up with it and had a child with him. He needs to understand clearly that he is on the brink of losing it all, you, your child and your support. You need to set some limits, you accepted this behavior in the past, why should he think you won't continue to? Get clear with yourself, what are you willing to accept? What do you want? What will you do if doesn't shape up? Make a plan and be ready to follow it.
